  • From the sample you provided, I see that you're trying to call /2/auth/token/from_oauth1, but are just using the oauth1_token and oauth1_token_secret values from the documentation itself. This endpoint is only meant for use if you already have pre-existing OAuth 1 access tokens, which you would plug in there instead of the…

  • If you're just trying to run the Android example app as is, you don't need to run gradlew.bat. You can just switch the Dropbox dependency to "compile 'com.dropbox.core:dropbox-core-sdk:3.0.6'" as you mentioned. (You should use that instead of the existing "compile group: 'com.dropbox.core', name: 'dropbox-core-sdk',…
    in v2 API Comment by Greg-DB April 2018
  • @"emna15" For using the Dropbox API in Android, you should use the Dropbox API v2 Java SDK: https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java There's an example of uploading files here:…

  • For the error you're getting, it looks like you aren't passing in an access token. (I.e., "Bearer" should be followed by the access token.) You'll need to see why that is. It appears you're trying to retrieve it via `session('access_token')`, which apparently isn't working. Anyway, yes, you can programmatically get an…
    in Dropbox API not returning all files Comment by Greg-DB April 2018
  • No, use of the Dropbox Saver is free. When a user uses the Dropbox Saver, it does save the file(s) into whatever account they are signed in to in their browser, not your developer account.

  • @"VarunRaj" The getMetadata method takes the path to the file you're looking for as the "path" parameter. In the sample above, the value being passed in is "mPath+mFilename", which would mean that "mPath" is the path to the parent folder that contains the file with name "mFilename", if any. Note that if you're using an app…
    in metadata.rev in API v2? Comment by Greg-DB April 2018
  • Yes, while the API was designed with the intention that each user would link their own Dropbox account, in order to interact with their own files, it is technically possible to connect and upload to just one account. The SDKs don't offer explicit support for it and we don't usually recommend doing so, for various technical…
    in Web based Data Upload API from Company Website Portal to a dedicated Dropbox Account Comment by Greg-DB April 2018
  • To be clear, can you confirm if you are referring to the "team space" I mentioned? (If not, and you just want to upload to a share folder mounted inside your member folder, you can use the path from Sharing.ListFoldersAsync.) If you are trying to upload to the team space, once you know the namespace ID, you can use that as…

  • The Dropbox API does offer the ability to upload files programmatically. For example, you can use /2/files/upload: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload The documentation there has an example of calling that endpoint via curl. We don't have any resources for Arduino/ESP8266…

  • For files, the `parent_shared_folder_id` is the "ID of shared folder that holds this file." For folders, the `parent_shared_folder_id` is the "ID of the parent shared folder. This field is present only if the folder is contained within another shared folder." That is, `parent_shared_folder_id` is only set for items inside…
